On 1 July, diplomas will be awarded to the graduates of the faculties of Natural Sciences, Informatics, Social Sciences, and VMU Education Academy (in Kaunas). Two additional ceremonies will also be held on the same day for the graduates of VMU Faculty of Catholic Theology and VMU Music Academy.
On 2 July, the university will send off alumni of the faculties of Arts, Economics and Management, and VMU Agriculture Academy (faculties of Forest Sciences and Ecology, Bioeconomy Development, and Water and Land Management).
On the final day, ceremonies will be dedicated to the graduates of the faculties of the Humanities, Political Science and Diplomacy, Law, Agriculture Academy (faculties of Agricultural Engineering and Agronomy), and VMU Education Academy in Vilnius.
Regrettably, the celebration will not be open to everyone, the way it was before. Taking into account the decisions of the Lithuanian government that mitigated the lockdown in the country but kept some restrictions in place in order to avoid any possibility of spreading COVID-19, to ensure the safety of the university’s community and their relatives, this year VMU graduate ceremonies will be a bit different than usual.
Vytautas Magnus University’s diplomas will be awarded to the graduates in VMU spaces. However, relatives and friends will be able to congratulate and take pictures with the new alumni outside. They will be able to watch the diploma award ceremony itself live on their smartphones and other devices.
We encourage all guests of the celebration to use personal protective equipment. It is recommended for graduates and other participants of the graduation ceremony to wear masks and disposable gloves.
All detailed information about graduation ceremonies related to the emergency situation in Lithuania and the recommendations of the Lithuanian Ministry of Health willl be provided in the coming weeks, before the events of VMU graduation ceremonies.
